Each week we get scores of emails from customers giving us feedback on
our service, and we survey all homeowners who do projects with ImproveNet.
7.8 Million Visitors. More than 100,000 projects. $7 Billion in total job billings
In a recent survey of homeowners who did remodeling jobs through ImproveNet, 98% would recommend ImproveNet
to their family and friends.
92% of those who have used our Contractor or Architect/Designer Matching Service
have cited their results as very good or excellent.
So we're not perfect... yet! Even so, these results stand out nicely in a service industry that, according to the Better Business
Bureau, produces more complaints of consumer dissatisfaction than any other (including auto mechanics!).
Here’s what a few of our customers have to say:
"[Our ImproveNet professional] showed up when he said he would and really worked at making our project come true. He
made sure the neighbors were kept apprised of what was going on and were not inconvenienced. He was here or in touch regularly to make sure everything was as we
wanted it. His crew was knowledgeable, nice, and neat. (They actually cleaned up EVERY night before leaving!) The end result is wonderful.
I really appreciate having had you do 'my' homework and my not having had to go through the daunting searching process for a good, reputable contractor. This is my first
experience using ImproveNet and frankly I cannot think of a single thing to suggest since it is hard to improve on 100% customer satisfaction."
G. Walker, La Jolla, CA
"Contractors (I'm guessing) try to do a good job to get future business and referrals, but
with ImproveNet
monitoring the actual customer satisfaction, contractors have a little more incentive to perform well."
T. Bevington, Atlanta, GA
"Thank you for following upwe absolutely LOVE your serviceand the
level of customer service is
OUTSTANDING!!!"
P. Sullivan, South Amboy, NJ
"MUCH better response than
calling referrals or through the Yellow Pages. This service has been a pleasure to
work with. I have already recommended it to several friends."
E. Brackett, Norfolk, VA
"My project advisor is great. He kept communication lines with me open and made me a satisfied user of
ImproveNet. I am sure he cares about me and my project."
T. Richard, Manassas, VA
"After many appointments made
from referrals from friends/coworkers and not shown up for,
using your service was
so easy, we kicked ourselves that we didn't use it in the first place!"
C.C., Damascus, MD
"I really do think this is a great service and I think it is wonderful that
someone would take the time out to help people like this. I felt very confident
with the roofer not only because of his presentation and manner, but because
I knew a company, such as yourself, had already done background checks for me."
J. Panagakos, VA
"This is the best website of its type on the Net.
And you can quote me."
B. Hoke, Poulsbo, WA

a friend who did not use you guys, and it’s been a nightmare. This has
gone smooth as silk."
G. Lee, San Jose, CA
"I have a small, old house that needs some minor remodeling so that
I can sell it. Then I want to build a small house in the country.
I
hit the jackpot on this website. I have had more questions answered
in the hour at this website than a week going through magazines that
just create more questions for me. Thank you!"
D. Bitner

J. Wagner,
San Francisco, CA

just picking a name out of a hat. You know with ImproveNet there has
been some sort of checking done, you can have some level of confidence
that you will find someone qualified."
R. Owen,
Huntington Beach, CA
"I was pleased with ImproveNet’s service. The job is completed and everything
worked out fine. The time I was looking was a good time for construction
and I was struggling to find a contractor. ImproveNet came through.
All of the background checking ImproveNet does is definitely a plus."
D. Varnau,
Bellevue, WA
"I liked the fact
that I was able to recognize several of the names that ImproveNet gave
me. I knew that there had been some kind of checking to see if the contractors
were legitimate."

is good and can assist the homeowner who does not have the experience

It is far better than using the Yellow Pages."

us a lot of time in the phone book. Since ImproveNet supplied us with
a list of contractors we didn’t have to do a lot of additional searching.

G. Sneider,
Metuchen, NJ
"I am very satisfied
with the contractor we chose through ImproveNet.
